Sunday in the City.
Oh, what a gloriously sunny San Francisco weekend! I just love a sunny June day! It’s an unusual rarity this time of year here (and I’m not sure I want to chalk up this great weather to global warming, but something is going on), because they don’t call it June Gloom for nothing. But no fog here! I slept in a bit too much to make the farmer’s market at a decent hour, so I headed over to Chinatown to check out the produce deals. As always, an excellent adventure, with many bargains to be had. Here’s a look at some of the more exotic streets of San Francisco.
Onion Peeling.
Lemon Fresh.
Banana Bread.
Fruit Cocktail.

Pretty pictures of China Town! Did you take them with your film camera? I was so intrigued by your article and photos about Soko’s that I had to go this weekend… amazing! Also went to a market called Ichiban Kan! So much fun! Thanks for your pictures and fun ideas!
teri – thanks! i’m glad you liked soko, too! and the market, it’s great too!
i took these with my nikon DSLR. :)
Ha! I love your clever photo plays on words.
Beautiful photos! I visited SF several years ago, and I think China Town was one of the highlights of my trip. I really enjoyed it.
Thanks for sharing these!
Great photos of your Chinatown. I live in NYC’s Chinatown and it seems like the energy of SF’s is a little calmer. I love the colors that you captured.
Beautiful!
I’d like to see if you could make my pink eye look pretty too….
Thanks everyone!
Joy – pink eye? Ohhhh noooooo! :)
yay! love how you’ve paired these with fruit!
that shot of the red lanterns is lovely!!!!
I love these Chinatown photos, but I have to say… I am sad you didn’t take any photos of the Pride Parade or festivities… It only comes once a year and I’m sure would have made for some *interesting* and colorful vignettes. Oh well, maybe next year…
Thanks all very much!
Jesse Lu – I love the spirit of the parade, but I am also really crowd-phobic. I can’t handle crowds well at all, but I’ve seen some great photos on flickr!
Great photos!
I want to be there!
Great photos and very clever too! I’ve visited SF twice and somehow didn’t get to Chinatown on either trip..darn! Next time maybe :)
@Victoria:
Oh, I totally understand. I get panic in crowds, too. I did manage to catch a couple glimpses of straggling drag queens out in the sunset though attempting to cross the muni tracks in 4″ stillettos. Yikes!
love the lemon dippy.
!!! really gorgeous.
Love ‘em, as usual, victoria! Any of them going to make it into your Etsy shop?
Thanks everyone – you’re too kind to me!
Uncle Beefy – Thanks! Not at this time, but maybe later! ;)
Mangoes wrapped in newspaper! Yum!
Beautiful images.
Neon Yellow is clever — love it. :)
I love all your Sunday pics, but this one was my fav. I live in SF with you too and I think Chinatown is the best. I hope that next time you’re there you go to the fortune cookie shope yums.
I would love to go back to SF. You are a great photographer!
I love your Sunday in the City posts. I used to live in SF and am from NorCal, and now living in Dallas, I must live vicariously through your great photos. I’ll be there this wknd for the 4th and hope to have my own little SITC time. I can’t wait!
